on Sony is making a Venom movie that won't be connected to Marvel's Spider-Man

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures has hired Dante Harper to write a script for a Venom movie.

That’s exciting news! However, it gets a little weird. The Venom movie will not be connected to the upcoming Sony and Marvel Spider-Man reboot starring Tom Holland.

Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, who produced the original Spider-Man trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, are producing and overseeing the project.

What do you think of this news? Let me know in the comments below!

    Avi Arad?? Did they learn nothing? Everything this guy has the final say in turns to trash. Not to mention he went nuts in that venom hoodie at Marvel. Keep this guy AWAY from Marvel!!

    Sounds like a terrible idea, why not just connect it, otherwise you will have to recast the role in a few years for the successful Marvel/Sony franchise ns more Spidey villains?

    I see no issue with this. Their Venom movie won’t be connected to the MCU. Meaning he will play some part in Sony’s Spiderman only, even if Disney has a hand in this Spidey. Besides, it’s not like Sony gave them full control. It’ll be like two different worlds Spidey’s entering.

      “The Venom movie will not be connected to the upcoming Sony and Marvel Spider-Man reboot starring Tom Holland.” What I get from this is that Venom and Spiderman won’t be in the same movie together or at least the Tom Holland version of Spiderman.

        I think they are going with an origin. Maybe will have the Symbiote just get a hold of Peter briefly before making contact with Eddie. I don’t know. I just hope they know what they are doing. Making it make sense, because it’s officially greenlit..

          you may have something going there. according to the comic books, the venom symbiote, like all the other symbiotes, are from another planet. maybe he movie is to show the origin of how the venom symbiote made it to earth and why it came to earth in the first place.

            I’m hoping it is something of the sort. It would explain why it’s not connected to Spiderman’s story.

      No I don’t think so. This is the direct quote from The Hollywood Reporter:

      “Sony has tapped Dante Harper to pen a script for Venom, something that is being envisioned as a franchise apart from and unrelated to the upcoming Spider-Man movie in the works with actor Tom Holland.”

      That sounds like Venom will be off in his own universe.

        Oh, then it’s true then, Chris. I thought they wouldn’t deter from Spiderman being that it’s still in their hands and not entirely in the MCU’s.

    This has been on/off/on/off for the last 3+ years. I’ll believe it when I see it – Although it’s Sony, so they’ll only funt it up, meaning I won’t want to see it.

    I’m guessing Flash Thompson “Good-Guy” Venom, only without the current Space-Knight bit, due to Marvel owning GotG film rights.

    Wait….WHAT?! Doing a Venom origin movie, without Spider-man, is blasphemous. I hope the upset fans realize that Marvel’s weird deal with devil, is why this is potentially happening. Agreeing to share creative control, so that Spidey could join the MCU.

    Why?!?! This is TERRIBLE news. AND they’re using someone with no writing experience to pen the script? Ugh…

    why does Sony think it can do Venom justice when they screwed up spiderman. It will fail. They do not understand the audience. that’s why they have had three spiderman flops in a row
